Imperial concubine always has good luck

Soon the news that the emperor was seriously ill came from the palace.

The princes rushed to the heart nourishing hall almost at the same time and said they would serve the disease, but the imperial doctor said that the emperor's disease needed rest and did not put any in.

They waited outside the door in a hurry, but they didn't dare to scold the doctor loudly. When they saw that several others didn't go, they didn't dare to leave first, so the scene was very embarrassing, like who would go first in the competition.

When Li Rushu left, he saw that Lu Ming and Lu Nian had been sitting on the ground waiting. The two brothers looked up to the hall from time to time. They saw nothing moving and turned back. They talked one by one. Lu Chen stood under the eaves of the corridor against the railing and appreciated a budding flower. Although his eyes were watching the flowers, his ears caught the sound of the hall at any time.

Lu Pei also went. When he saw Li Rusu coming, he gave a white look and continued to wail outside the door: "is your father sleeping? Grandpa Li, can I have a look in the distance? "

No one responded to him.

Li Rushu smiled, came forward to salute several people, lifted the fruit tray in his hand, and said, "Your Highness, your maidservant has come to send grapes to the emperor. If you have anything, tell your maidservant and convey it to you."

"You convey?" Several people came together at the same time, and their faces clearly showed some disdain, but Lu Ming, Lu Chen and Lu Nian were older after all. They didn't express their dissatisfaction. Lu Pei jumped directly, pointed to her nose and said, "Li Rujing, have you forgotten your identity? We can't get into our father's room. Why can you get in? "

Li Rusu smiled faintly and said softly, "the emperor said that he was afraid of noise in his illness and wanted to eat ice grapes made by slaves."

Her eyes were even provocative. Seeing that the other party's face was red with anger, she pointed out: "now the emperor has delegated power to several princes in court and politics. If you are really filial, you should take care of the part you are responsible for. When the emperor gets well, it's good to return him a prosperous mountain and river. It's no use waiting here."

Her words finally worked. Lu Ming and others coughed a few times and went away with their hands behind their backs. Lu Pei was angry and couldn't send it out. He also muttered a few words and turned away.

Li Rushu looked inside the hall and knew that the emperor had seen and heard the situation outside, but he could not speak or come out for such a long time, and he didn't know what to think.

Fortunately, he gave Lu Li a letter in advance. He didn't come to join the fun.

The royal family affection, even if she really thought of each other, seemed to be mixed with some calculations. She sighed and walked in slowly.

Sure enough, he saw the emperor lying leisurely on the soft couch. Next to him, Duke Li put a small table with all kinds of snacks and tea. He was sipping the tea cup with a dark look in his eyes.

"Those people are gone?"

Seeing her coming in, the emperor raised his eyelids and asked, "look at the disease of Lian. Are you moved that several sons care about Lian together?"

Li Rusu saw that he was slightly angry between his eyebrows and knew that he was saying something ironic. He put the ice grape in front of him and said with a smile: "emperor, the weather is hot. The imperial doctor told you to calm down and nourish your spirit. Your Highnesses don't know that you are pretending to be ill. You came here when you were ill. You are still gloomy and strange..."

After being picked by her words, the emperor really smiled and talked with her at will, but there were some changes in the harem.

He made up his mind to test the abilities of the princes, so he hid his illness from the concubines of the harem, and wanted to take the opportunity to be clean. Therefore, only Duke Li and Li Rusu around him knew the secret. The three people said some confidential things in the room, like the eyes of God hiding in the dark, watching the trivial prosperity of the world, and felt a unique excitement.

Speaking of the queen, Li Rushu was worried and frowned. "Emperor, as soon as the imperial doctors said you were ill yesterday, the Queen's mother would come to see you. The slave and maid stopped her and didn't come. If she didn't see her again tomorrow and broke in, the slave and maid couldn't stop it."

The emperor was putting a grape into his mouth. When he heard this, he immediately raised his eyebrows and said, "she's brave enough to come! Just put it out for a few days and don't stop. If you move your fetal Qi, see how Lian treats her! "

Li Rusu smiled and quickly pushed the grape plate forward.

A few days later, no matter the concubines of the harem, ministers or princes of the previous dynasty, all those who came to visit the doctor were blocked back. Li Rushu simply cleaned a small house next to the imperial study and came out. He guarded it day and night and changed shifts with father Li. No one gave face, just like two door gods.

After a long time, some people began to feel wrong. Before, the emperor had no signs of bad health. Why didn't he even go out of the door all of a sudden?

The key is not to let visitors. It's been several days. What's the disease?

Lu Ming and his wife haven't been here for several days. First, they have six things to deal with. Besides, they are not fools. Such a strange illness happened to the emperor, which not only didn't cause a trace of panic, but also seemed to be pushed by an invisible palm in both the front court and the rear palace. It seemed that they didn't have a clue, but actually they were going on in an orderly way

They began to wonder whether the father's illness had some deep meaning.

Li Rushu soon saw the changes of the princes in his eyes. After telling the emperor about it, the other party waved his big hand and said, "then let them go out of the palace to do business. If there is nothing to do, make a few things for him. At least stretch them for a few more days."

Soon, there were several "headless homicides" in Chang'an Street. The reporter was the old man in charge of cleaning the street. He said that he saw several white bodies in the street early in the morning and had no head. He was so scared that he went to report the case.

There was such a serious homicide at the foot of the emperor. The Ministry of justice was in charge of such cases. Lu Ming was in charge. On the same day, he went out of the palace to the back yamen of the Ministry of justice, convened people to hold a meeting and began to investigate the headless homicide.

Almost at the same time, several granaries were stolen. Hundreds of carts of grain seemed to disappear in one night. There was no trace of theft at the warehouse door, and no one saw suspicious people coming in and out. The grain was gone, and Lu Chen, who was responsible for managing the household department, was busy.

There is a lot of rain in summer. In recent days, the river embankment has been destroyed by heavy rain. Lu Nian of the Ministry of work patrols the river embankment all day, takes people to rush repair and grabs time with God.

Lu Li is not at ease here, because the border reported that he had destroyed a lot of defensive weapons due to the invasion of neighboring countries. He wanted to quickly take people to make new weapons and drive them directly to the military camp.

It was like a day's work. The princes were busy. Everyone was not in a hurry. The emperor went to bed early and got up late every day. He listened happily to Li Rusu's report to him, just like an old man sitting on the Diaoyutai.
